1t is only from exceptional business enter
prises that the puplic obtain the fullest pos
sible advantage. To give these and properly
remunerate the conductors OF an establish
ment requires combination of conditions
seldom met with. There must be compre-
hensive knowledge of all the facts pertain
ing to the branch down to the smallest de-
tails, the possession of ample capital to
purchase all material at the lowest cash
basis from first sources, and II manufacture
ing enter into the business, the greatest
skill should be commanded to insure
superiority of construction and finish.
These are the principal constituents en-
bodied by those business houses who cater
successfully to the public in any line.
most magnificent illustration is fur
nished by "Nicoll, the Tailor" whose estab-
lishment at 68 North Main street, in this
city, is so well known and patronized, as are
his palatial stores in New York, Chicago, or
his elegant establishment in the Phelan
Building San Francisco, and Portland, Ore
gon- 1t is perfectly safe to say that no
tailor in the country making to order can
compete with Nicoll. To the proof; He has
an office in London, which is great center
to which manufacturers of cloth at all
points send their goods for sale. He pur-
chases regularly in London and also in
Paris, and when occasion requires his buy
ers visit manufacturing seats, such as Hud-
dersfield, Dewsbury, Leeds, Stroud, Trow-
bridge and Frome, and in Scotland, Gala
shiels, Dumfrics, Langholm, Jedburg and
Selkirk. Treating with and buying solely
from manufacturers in immense quantities,
and all for cash, he invariably contracts
much better terms than any other buyer.
He has also the most favorable arrangements
with the different steamship companies, es-
pecially the Inman, for transmission of
goods. Changes in style, as often as they
occur, are wired by private code from Lon
don. Domestic fabrics are also purchased
for cash from manufacturers.
Business with Nicon this season has
started in booming. During his many sea-
sons experience in this city he reports that
at no time has he been SO pressed to fill his
orders. He has been compelled to procure
the services of several first-class cutters
from New York, in addition to his usual
force of favorite artists in that line. He
showed the most elegant and stylish assort
ment of fall and winter goods, both foreign
and domestic, of designs especially prepared
for his house. "Nicoll, the Tailor" employ,
none but the most skillful artistic cutters
and efficient workmen. Suits are made in
superior manner from 500 to $500 Con
noisseurs of dress and the general public
will, therefore, see that :'Nicoll. the Tailor,
can meet their wants more effectually ant
economically than any other house.
To those who have never patronized the
famous house of "Nicoll the Tailor" We
would advise them to take the first leisure
hour and inspect the marvels of clothing
fabrics in his elegant establishment at 6s
North Main. Every courtesy is extended tt
visitors and patrons.
His country trade is also increasing i'm
mensely. His rules and system for self
measurement are so simple, and reduced
down to such fine mathematical principles
that any one living at a distance or in the
country can measure themselves with the
greatest ease and insure perfect fit. These
rules and self-measurement guides, with a
good selection of samples, are mailed free on
application.
